A new PUBG update for Season 24 arrived on
June 8, 2023, for PC and on next-gen consoles shortly after.
Battlegrounds (or PUBG and PUBG: Battlegrounds) spearheaded the popularity of
battle royale games, becoming a breakout hit that inspired countless
competitors like Fortnite or Apex Legends. This third-person shooter is
available to play on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC.
Unlike
its rivals, PUBG is a simulation-focused affair, with real-world weapons and
physics to consider, such as bullet drop and variable weather conditions.
You’ll need to fight off 99 other players within a shrinking map to secure the
coveted “winner-winner chicken dinner”, so strategy and tactics are
crucial.
Now PUBG
has a standardized seasonal duration of two months; we can expect Season 24 to
come to a close around August 8, 2023. Want to know more about the current
season and all its new patch notes? Read on for everything included in PUBG
Season 24.

Tactical Gear
The new PUBG update for Season 24 doesn’t add a huge amount compared to previous seasons, but there are significant changes to Tactical Gear. Now, all players will start matches with a Tactical Gear Carrier. Inside, you’ll get to choose between EMT Gear, Spotter Scope, Drone Tablet, Tactical Pack, Blue-Chip Detector, and All-in-One Repair Kit items. This essentially allows you to use Tactical Gear without sacrificing a weapon slot.
Vikendi Update
Vikendi is getting a minor update to terrain and
cover. From the blog post:
“We have tactically upgraded those locations –
excluding major cities – that, according to live data, have proven to be the
most unfeasible for engagement or where cover was particularly scarce by adding
new objects and ridgelines, offering more opportunities for strategic
cover.”
For full details of what’s being changed on the
Vikendi Map, check out the full patch notes.
Battle Pass
No live service game is complete without a new Battle
Pass, and that’s exactly what PUBG season 24 brings.
Known in PUBG as a “Survivor Pass”, this follows
the usual progression formula. You’ll complete in-game missions and earn
levels, unlocking new cosmetic items and rewards. New items have been added to
the Hunter’s and Archivist’s Chests such as the new Survivor Pass: Splash
Royale. For the Android latest patch click below
